Davidson Health Centre uses triage — patients are seen based on urgency of need, not order of arrival, so expect to wait if your condition is not life-threatening.
You cannot make an appointment at the emergency department; for non-emergency health concerns, the attached Davidson Primary Care Clinic may be a more appropriate option.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, or serious injury, call 911 immediately rather than driving to the ER.
Davidson Health Centre participates in a virtual physician program, meaning a remote physician may provide emergency coverage when no local physician is on-site — this helps ensure you receive timely care.
If you or a loved one has complex medical needs that may require specialist care, be aware that you may be stabilized at Davidson and transferred to a larger regional hospital; ask staff about this possibility on arrival.

Davidson Health Centre offers on-site laboratory services, x-ray, and ultrasound, making it a capable rural diagnostic facility for the Heartland region.
Can I be seen for a minor illness at the Davidson Health Centre ER?
